WordPress theme example 3
From Wiki @ Karl Jones dot com
This article is an example of a very simple WordPress theme, demonstrating:
- The loop
- Bootstrap Nav Walker
USE THIS THEME AS THE BASIS FOR YOUR PROJECT, unless you prefer to take a different approach which gets similar results.
See WordPress custom theme examples for a list of examples.
style.css
The style.css file contains:
- A CSS comment which contains "Theme Name: Unique Name"
- Your CSS styles
- Bootstrap styles first
- Custom styles second
/* Theme Name: MGDP 2060 Example After the CSS comment, paste the Bootstrap CSS styles. Below the Bootstrap CSS styles, create override styles to customize Bootstrap */
header.php
The header.php file contains HTML that is shared by all pages.
Example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
<meta name="description" content="Description here">
<meta name="keywords" content="Your keywords">
<meta name="author" content="author name">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri(); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<?php
if ( is_home() ) {
$title = 'Home : Classroom Example';
} else {
$title = the_title( );
}
?>
<title><?php echo $title; ?></title>
</head>
<body>
<!-- BEGIN Bootstrap NavBar -->
<nav class="navbar navbar-default" role="navigation">
<div class="container-fluid">
<!-- Brand and toggle get grouped for better mobile display -->
<div class="navbar-header">
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#bs-example-navbar-collapse-1">
<span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</button>
<a class="navbar-brand" href="<?php echo home_url(); ?>">
<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>
</a>
</div>
<?php
wp_nav_menu( array(
'menu' => 'primary',
'theme_location' => 'primary',
'depth' => 2,
'container' => 'div',
'container_class' => 'collapse navbar-collapse',
'container_id' => 'bs-example-navbar-collapse-1',
'menu_class' => 'nav navbar-nav',
'fallback_cb' => 'wp_bootstrap_navwalker::fallback',
'walker' => new wp_bootstrap_navwalker())
);
?>
</div>
</nav>
<!-- END Bootstrap NavBar -->
index.php
The index.php file contains the HTML for the main body of pages.
Example:
<?php
get_header();
?>
<div class="container main home">
<h1>Custom Theme Example Three</h1>
<div class="post-container">
<?php
if (have_posts()) :
while (have_posts()) :
the_post();
echo '<div class="post">';
echo '<h2 class="post-title">';
echo the_title();
echo '</h2>';
echo '<div class="post-content">';
the_content();
echo '<hr />';
echo '</div>';
the_date('Y-m-d', '<h3>', '</h3>');
echo '</div>';
endwhile;
endif;
?>
</div>
</div>
<?php
get_footer();
?>
The footer.php file contains shared footer information, such as copyright and legal statements.
Example:
<footer class="container bottombar">
Footer info goes here
</footer>
</body>
</html>
functions.php
Create a file named functions.php
<?php
/*
This is an example of a simple functions.php file.
*/
// Require the Bootstrap NavWalker code be included here:
require_once ('wp_bootstrap_navwalker.php');
// Register Custom Navigation Walker
register_nav_menus( array(
'primary' => __( 'Primary Menu', 'THEMENAME' ),
) );
Create a file named wp_bootstrap_navwalker.php.
